A slanted, sans-serif design with smooth, rounded curves and firm, even strokes. The forms lean forward with a consistent oblique angle, using open counters and simplified, geometric construction that keeps shapes clean and uncluttered. Terminals are mostly sheared or smoothly finished, and curves (notably in C/O/S and the numerals) read as circular and controlled, giving the set a cohesive, engineered rhythm.
It works well for sports branding, event graphics, and headline systems where a sense of motion is useful. The clean, rounded construction also suits modern UI accents and short informational text, especially when you want a contemporary, athletic tone without added flourish.
The overall tone feels energetic and forward-moving, with a sporty, performance-oriented attitude. Its simplified shapes and steady slant convey a modern, confident voice that reads as brisk and purposeful rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a modern oblique sans with a strong sense of speed and clarity, balancing geometric roundness with sturdy, simplified shapes. It prioritizes immediate impact and clean readability in display and branding contexts.
Capitals are compact and sturdy with minimal ornament, while the lowercase maintains clear, legible silhouettes in text. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic, with rounded bowls and a consistent rightward motion that helps the font feel fast and contemporary in headlines and short passages.
